So the wait time for a table was right at an hour (I used the time we checked in with the hostess to the time we sat down), which I guess is about right for a Sunday lunch post-church crowd. But once we were seated, our food came out within 15 minutes!
Hubby ordered the Cracker Barrel Sampler which was HUGE! He was expecting just a taste of meatloaf, ham, dumplings, Mac and cheese, okra and mashed potatoes with brown gravy, but it was full sized portions of each! Not complaining, they definitely give you your money’s worth. I ordered the fried chicken tenders which comes with two or three sides, I got green beans and mashed potatoes with no gravy. The green beans were so good, tasted like they’re cooked with ham. My little got max and cheese, I sampled it and yes, it’s super tasty. Not made from a box for sure, we’re talking homemade. We received corn muffins and a biscuit, those never disappoint. Our waitress was attentive and friendly.
All in all, not bad and I can’t even deduct a star for the wait because we knew there would be a wait. I even bought some road-trip jelly bellies from the shop. Great restaurant and tasty food!
I personally liked the fried catfish, wasn't the best or near as good as mine but it wasn't bad. The shrimp were horrible! The fryer employee must have gotten too busy, took his eye off of them and they burned. They were battered and fried so hard my fingers couldn't pinch them. Showed the waiter and insisted he show his boss. They were removed from the ticket.
Every single visit I've had at any Cracker Barrel has been a good one. Good food, relaxed atmosphere, good prices and portions.
The store has cornbread mix i use in my stuffing during Thanksgiving. 🙂 Nice shop and fun trinkets, postcards, chocolates, hard candies, books, clothes, cards, Lodge cast iron pans, etc. One can even purchase a child or adult sized wooden rocking chair from the lineup of them on the front porch of the store.
Enjoy some good food if you don't mind country music and maybe a real wood fire at times!
The employees were friendly and efficient. Tye food was tasty and filling. Southern comfort food is the main staple and they do it well. The attached store has throwback candy, toys, home decor items and clothing.
